Chapter 568 Li Guipin

Concubine Xing glanced at her mother and saw that her face was a little red, so she whispered to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, my mother is very drunk. I would like to take her down to sober up. Can you?"

"My dear concubine, just go. I'll have someone send Mrs. Xing the sobering soup to the side hall."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Concubine Xing stood up and asked the people around her to invite Mrs. Xing. Their departure naturally attracted some people's attention, but seeing that the emperor didn't express his position, the other courtiers would not say much.

After leaving the main hall, the mother and daughter went straight to the side hall.

It was just a glass of wine. Mrs. Xing drank too much. But after she came out and blew in the cold wind, she sobered up a lot.

After Concubine Xing listened for a while, she sighed and said.

"Why did mother go to such a confrontation with the Gu family and the Guo family? Isn't this just to give people an excuse? Why didn't those ladies see the benefits of their calls before? When they saw you coming, someone rushed in front to support you. You are going to make enemies for our Xing family. How come you have been so smart all your life and yet you fell into such a trap when you came to Sui'an City?"

Mrs. Xing was also a little annoyed at the moment. She was also known as a good person in Jinling City, but why did she come to Sui'an City and become a shield for others? So after suppressing her temper, she couldn't help but gossip.

"Look at how old Mrs. Gu is. She is firmly sitting in the second position of Mrs. Gaoming. If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Earl's Mansion is the Queen's biological mother, I'm afraid she would have to make way for her. We people , I have been busy all my life, and the result is still behind this girl's movie, how can I swallow this breath! "

"Moreover, our Xing family has tried every possible means to show off to the Gu family many times, but they pretended not to see it and just let it go. Instead, they are on good terms with the Earl's Mansion and the Li family. It's not obvious that they want to kiss the Yan family or not. Do we, the Xing family, still have to give her a face?"

Mrs. Xing spoke in a low voice. She also knew that she was in the palace, so she could not say anything casually. Who knew that Concubine Xing felt inappropriate after hearing this.

"Not to mention that the Gu family and the Guo family have not made their stance clear yet. If my mother is in such a hurry to deal with these two people, isn't she just sending help to the queen? Mother is confused."

Mrs. Xing didn't look very good after hearing this. Of course she knew that these words should not be uttered today, but as soon as the words came to her lips, she seemed to ignore them, so she took Concubine Xing's hand and said .

"Have I caused trouble for you? The Queen won't hold on to this matter, right?"

Seeing that her mother had reacted, Concubine Xing did not continue to scare her, but spoke lightly.

"I didn't do anything wrong. Even if the Queen wants to embarrass me, she can't. So don't worry, mother, but don't act impulsively in the future. Even if the Gu family and the Guo family don't help us in the future, they must not Push them to the Earl's Palace, do you understand?"

Mrs. Xing is not stupid. Her own daughter has already talked about this. How can she still not understand? So he nodded and said.

"Don't worry. I will personally apologize to them both during the warm-hearted banquet in a few days. I will never let the relationship deteriorate any further."

Concubine Xing nodded. It was a rare occasion for mother and daughter to see each other, so she brought the topic to the Seventh Prince, enjoying this moment of family bonding.

In the main hall, the singing and dancing continued.

After the little conflict just now, no one dared to offend Du Jingyi easily anymore. The Vice Minister's wife Li and Mrs. Li who were sitting not far away from her also came while toasting the Countess. Du Jingyi said next to him.

"Mrs. Xing is really angry and doesn't care about the occasion. Mrs. Gu, are you okay?"

Du Jingyi smiled slightly. Although the Xing family was not a good person, the Earl's Mansion and the Li family also had other thoughts. She was not stupid. How could she not hear such words that were rushed to add fuel to the fire?

"Xue Niang and I also joked a bit. It's hard to make Mrs. Xing angry when it's Chinese New Year. I'll give her a toast later."

Mrs. Guo San looked at the two of them and said nothing more.

I just took the wine cup at hand and drank a little, and I didn't bother to look at the fake faces of these ladies anymore.

After a while, Mrs. Xing came back and sat down.

Before she even uttered her first sentence, Du Jingyi generously gestured to Xue Niang to hold the wine glasses together, and then said to Mrs. Xing.

“Mrs.

How could Mrs. Xing not appreciate the honor given to Du Jingyi, so she smiled kindly and said to her.

"It's my fault too. I haven't gone north for many years, so I've become a little acclimated and started talking nonsense. Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Guo Si should not be weird. You must go to the warm house banquet in a few days. , I will definitely make amends when the time comes.”

As soon as she said this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but go.

So after looking at each other, Xue Niang smiled and said something back.

"The Xing family and the Gu family are already in a marriage relationship. If you are your host, we will naturally come to congratulate you."

In two words, the original flash of swords and shadows became a joy.

The ladies who had previously encouraged Mrs. Xing to cause trouble were a little embarrassed at the moment. The people in the Earl's Mansion and Mrs. Li who were sitting behind Du Jingyi, although their expressions were calm, felt like a warning bell had been sounded in their hearts.

Empress Yan was watching the singing and dancing, but she could see the scene here from the corner of her eye. When she saw Du Jingyi and Madam Xing toasting each other, her eyes dimmed slightly, and when she opened her eyes again, they returned to the previous state.

A palace banquet is full of drama.

Others had their own thoughts, but Madam Li was more concerned about her youngest daughter, the already promoted Li Guipin.

The day she gave birth to the princess was about the same as the day her eldest daughter gave birth to the child. Logically, she was still in the palace for the confinement period, and should have been taken care of more carefully, but Madam Li looked carefully. Although her whole person was made up and hair exquisitely, and her clothes were luxurious, there was a sense of fatigue between her eyebrows.

It was not comparable to the eldest daughter in the Duke's Mansion. Seeing this, Madam Li felt very distressed.

Perhaps because her gaze was too earnest, Li Guipin also felt that her health was indeed not very good now. The reason why she supported herself to attend this palace banquet was also for the family and her own right to speak in the future.

I was afraid that my mother would worry, so I wiped the sweat from my temples with a handkerchief and straightened my body. No matter what, it would be good to make the family worry less. (End of this chapter)
